Light on Yoga Project (Parighasana & Ustrasana.)

20th July, 2010.

Parighasana (p.85.)
I found that if you maintain relaxed shoulders it really helps the performance of the asana. One thing I also found was if the foot of the extended leg does not lay flat o the floor. Putting a block under your foot really leg and hip relax more.  You then get a much better stretch.
I also noticed that my left side took much longer to relax.  This this is the side that is most affected by the scoliosis.  At first the breathing was a little labored, but relaxing the shoulders really helped the breathing become easier.
Over all it was vary nice.

Ustrasana (p.87.)
Breathed into my upper back. 
I could feel the stretch in my thighs. :)
Over all it was comfortable.
